something gentle
there is something gentle
that this breeze has
carried in
through my window
alongside summer
i can barely feel my hands
as this feeling wades and stumbles
through the thickest

that we march towards
a tomorrow we may never know
hands twined together
like the vines on my living room’s walls
painted
onto bricks like scars i want you to

and only yours
i don’t know if i will ever know

sometimes
it scares me
but it is nice
this thing
that summer has brought in
